In-Store Exclusive

This one's worth the trip to the store.

Brands like Weber, Milwaukee, Yeti, and DeWalt restrict where their products can be sold online — and for good reason. In-store buyers get authentic products, full manufacturer warranty, and access to pricing that simply isn't allowed to be advertised on the web.

  • Authorized dealer network · Full manufacturer warranty & support
  • Guaranteed authentic · No counterfeits, no gray-market resellers
  • The brands set these standards · Be wary of sellers who don't follow them

Every order helps keep your local hardware store on the corner.

Why we built NHG
You might find it for less locally. Independent retailers often offer competitive pricing — some products are even cheaper in-store than online.
Real expert advice — not search results. Independent hardware staff know their inventory and the local conditions you're working in.
Keep the neighborhood working. Every dollar spent at an independent retailer returns roughly 3x more to your local economy than at a national chain.

About Product Overview

Meet the Simpson Strong-Tie 48 in. long, 2.06 in. wide strap crafted from 12-gauge galvanized steel. This heavy-duty joist strap is built to reinforce framing with lasting strength and corrosion resistance, making it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor projects.

  • Strength you can depend on: 12-gauge galvanized steel provides robust load-bearing capability for demanding joist-to-joist connections.
  • Long, efficient coverage: at 48 inches in length, it reduces the need for multiple pieces on long runs and speeds up installation.
  • Better load distribution: the 2.06-inch width distributes forces over a wider area, helping to prevent localized failure and improving overall structural integrity.
  • Rugged and durable: galvanized coating resists rust and corrosion, ideal for decks, basements, or exterior framing exposed to moisture.
  • Trusted brand, compatible system: from Simpson Strong-Tie, a name synonymous with reliable structural hardware and a full ecosystem of compatible fasteners and connectors.
  • Versatile application: designed for use in standard framing projects that require a sturdy strap to secure joists and other members.

Ideal use cases

Use this strap for reinforcing long joist spans, stabilizing rafter-to-joist connections, or retrofit applications where a continuous, strong strap enhances structural integrity. It’s well-suited for decks, stair stringers, and wood-frame constructions where a dependable, straight-run strap is beneficial.

Installation considerations

Pair this 12-gauge galvanized strap with compatible joist fasteners recommended by Simpson Strong-Tie. Ensure proper alignment along the member, maintain straight edges, and follow local building codes for fastener spacing and load requirements. For best results, cut to length with appropriate cutting tools, prep the work area to avoid sharp edges, and inspect the strap after installation for full engagement with the framing members.

Their Counter
Try local first · we'll wait

The stores we send you to are local and independently run — often for generations, the kind of place where someone behind the counter knows the regulars. We don't own them. We just think they deserve the foot traffic. They can put most of what we sell on their next truck. Ask there before you check out here.

About our directory. National Hardware Group is an independent retailer and directory. The local stores we list and link to are separately owned and operated — we have no ownership stake in any of them, and most pay us nothing to be included. That includes plenty of stores flying a co-op banner that people don't realize are locally owned and run, not operated by a corporation. Store owners can choose to upgrade their listing for an enhanced presence or pickup features, but the base directory is free, and inclusion is never a paid endorsement.
